Welcome!

The goal of this project is to provide a place for Alabamians to have help and discuss all things Alabama and their families.

We're always looking for new members! To join us simply add the category to your profile page and check out some of our To-Do ideas below. We will be more then happy to help you in any way we can as will any of the Alabama Project lead members. We'd like to focus on adding those folks who are linked with Alabama through history, as well as create free-space pages for important events and organizations.

To-Do List

Here are some of the tasks that we think need to be done. Project members have been working on them, and could use your help.

The Description of Alabama and her families .

Adding town-level categories to profiles

Locate Alabama Notables that need to be added or improved (and work with the Notables project to get that done.)

Alabama Genweb When you use this link, know the state genweb has records that the county may not have and the county has some records that are not available for the state, so you should search both places

Let's work on some ideas for goals/tasks. I like your idea to put together a description of Alabama, maybe a brief history included?
We should also link to the Alabama Cemeteries project. Are there prominent Alabamaians we can start a list of to put on WikiTree or prominent families? Certain companies that have been instrumental in her history? Events that shaped the state? I am from Iowa, so the South may as well be another world to me :-) I have the Midwest down, ha. If we just get a few ideas started here, we can post about Alabama Roots already being a sub-project of US History and get some interest here to help. The tag would be alabama_roots, but we'd want to follow alabama, too, to see when folks show an interest. And we can check who is already following that to recruit.

We're about to launch a new top-level project for US History and those events based in the US. I think this would fit in wonderfully as a sub-project. What do you think? Do you have some ideas for goals? Adding Alabama families? Working on certain surnames that are prominent? Were there events that could contain certain groups? Great idea. Thanks for starting it!
